Album: Mixwell Key Notes
intro: A friend's voicemail to Dave]
Dave, whattup man?
It's me
Umm just callin to see, if possible, if you have any
time today or within the next couple of days
If, if, you're in the studio or if you're at home or car, whatever
That song that it's called trying or something, Mase
was tellin me that I needed to hear?
He said it was amazing
Whoo the way he was talkin man I wanna hear it!

Instead of somebody-baby-mama
You see young minds are now made of armor
I'm tryin to pop a hole in your Yankee cap

The skies over your head aint safe no more
And Hip Hop aint your own
And if it is then you fuckin up the crib son
You make life look like I don't wanna live one
You might as well hold your breath until you die in a
corner somewhere bent over in the crevice
This God Theory overcomes the worst of weathers
As long as you willin to try, you on a
